Maidstone Symphony Orchestra - Maxim Calver

Type:Concert

About

Young Maxim Calver amazed us all last season when he took over as soloist at short notice. He returns with the work originally billed for that concert, Shostakovich’s powerful 1st Cello Concerto. Wagner’s festive overture to Die Meistersinger is a perfect foil. Tchaikovsky then brings every emotion to the fore in his passionate 4th Symphony. At its heart is his belief in the disruptive power of fate, but as he remarked about the boisterous finale: “If you can find happiness in the joy of others, you can still enjoy life!”
